There was some initial confusion as many people were waiting for different tours and we were the last to be put in a vehicle - but not the right one. I questioned our assignment and eventually our cart arrived. After that it was a very enjoyable evening and the guide was great.

We were able to get up close to all of the monuments. The golf cart was easy for my 80 year old mother to get in and out of, and the proximity of parking to the monuments was easy for her to manage walking. Our tour guide did an excellent job, and she was new to the job. She had lots of info and facts to share. She was a safe driver.
